- Remarks:
- LC-MS-MS
- Details on sampling:
- - Concentrations: All concentrations, at test start (0 h) and every 24 h

Test solutions
- Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION
- Method: A water-accommodated fraction (WAF) was prepared by weighing the test item with the help of a cover glass into a corresponding amount of algal medium (demineralised water enriched with minerals) to obtain a stock WAF with a nominal concentration of 100.2 mg/L, which was then shaken at 100 rpm for 3 d on an orbital shaker. The test item was applied in thin layer to achieve a large surface for contact with aqueous medium. The resulting solution was centrifuged because the solution was turbid (deviation from study plan). The lower test item concentrations were prepared by dilution of this stock WAF with algal medium. The WAFs were prepared individually and not by serial dilution of the stock WAF (see "Any other information on materials and methods incl. tables").
- Differential loading: No
- Controls: Algal medium without test item
Test organisms
- Test organisms (species):
- Desmodesmus subspicatus (previous name: Scenedesmus subspicatus)

- TEST ORGANISM
- Common name: Unicellular freshwater green alga
- Strain: 86.81 (SAG number)
- Source: MBM Sciencebridge GmbH (Institut für Pflanzenphysiologie of University of Göttingen, Germany), Jan 2016
- Method of cultivation: The algae are kept as stock culture on solid agar at 2 - 8 °C. From this stock culture, a permanent culture was prepared. The pre-culture for this test was prepared from an aliquot of the permanent culture.
- Age of inoculum at test start: 4 d.

- pH:
- Control: 7.6 (0 h) and 8.4 (72 h)
Treatments: 7.1 - 7.6 (0 h) and 7.6 - 8.1 (72 h) - Nominal and measured concentrations:

Control, 0.002, 0.006, 0.018, 0.058 and 0.183 µg/L (concentratins calculated based on geometric mean of the highest treatment)
Comment: After 24 and 48 h, the test item was only detectable in the highest concentration and at the end of the test, no test item was detected in any treatment. The measured concentration in the highest concentration at 48 h was slightly below the LOQ but was still used for the calculation of the geometric mean due to the clarity of its peak. The lower concentrations were derived from the geometric mean of the measured concentration in the highest treatment and the respective dilution factors.

ANALYTICAL RESULTS
At the start and after every 24 h, the test item concentrations were measured in the test media by LC-MS. However, in the present study a different LC-MS was used for the actual measurement than was used for the validation due to equipment failure.
MEASURED CONCENTRATIONS
At the beginning of the test (0 h), the test item could be analytically determined in samples from the 10 – 100 mg/L (nominal) treatments. Due to the very poor solubility, the test item was not detected in lower concentrations. After 24 and 48 h, the test item was only detectable in the highest concentration. At the end of the test, no test item was detectable in any treatment (Table 2).
CALCULATION OF THE GEOMETRIC MEAN MEASURED CONCENTRATIONS
The geometric mean was calculated by multiplication of the n concentrations and taking the nthroot thereof. According to the report, the measured concentration in the highest treatment at 48 h (0.15 µg/L) was slightly below the LOQ (0.2 µg/L) but because the measured peak of the test item was clear, it was still used for the calculation of the geometric mean of the highest concentration (Table 3). For the calculation of the geometric mean value of the highest test concentration, the test facility used half the LOQ (= 0.1 µg/L) for the 72 h – value. The geometric mean measured values for the lower concentrations were then derived from this calculated geometric mean of the highest test concentration (nominal 100 mg/L) using the respective dilution factors. The test facility justified this procedure with the preparation method of the lower concentration treatments, which were prepared by dilution of the stock WAF (100 mg/L nominal).
Due to considerable deficiencies in the preparation of test media and in the analytical method, only the results for the highest test concentration were considered in the present dossier.

BIOLOGICAL RESULTS
Significant inhibition of algal growth was observed at 32 – 100 mg/L (nominal) (Table 4). Since the test item is not soluble, the EC50 value for growth rate inhibition is reported as a range instead of the exact value extrapolated by the software (Table 5 and 6).
Due to considerable deficiencies in the preparation of test media and in the analytical method, only the nominal EC50 (72 h) was considered as effect value in the present dossier.
